wheel build labour cost £60 for two wheels

total: £221.60

guess you can find an alternative 650b rim elsewhere for not much more.

I also assumed you wanted rim brake from your other recent posts, although is this for a different bike? Spa cycles does have discounted disc brake SP hubs too

Thanks for the info. I did momentarily toy with the idea of trying to build them up myself but I've not the tools or any knowledge on what spokes and lengths to get and all that. It might work out more cost effective this way.

you could source the parts, then ask a wheel builder to measure up and order spoke lengths, then build for you? would still probably work out cheaper and you'll likely get a better wheelset out of it than buying otp
